ashmo69 's review for:
Boy Swallows Universe
by Trent Dalton
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5).
(TW for anyone considering reading this book: lots of drug references and violence, including DV, murder). Once I got past the first 100 pages I couldn’t put this down. But it was a little slow to begin with but I can now understand why. There is so much detail put into these characters that I can’t believe they aren’t real people. I really felt and related to the characters so much. The book took me on the biggest roller coaster… Trent Dalton is a wonderful writer who makes this Australian portrayal so realistic that again, I was shocked this was fiction and not non-fiction. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. And don’t give up early on, “it gets good” as August Bell would say.
